***Breaking*** ex-GOP candidate Mitt Romney endorses John McCain | |
Redheaded Stepchild (OP) User ID: 364244 United States 02/14/2008 02:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So I thought Romney was just taking a break... Fleshing it out... [link to news.yahoo.com] Mitt Romney will endorse John McCain PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Republican campaign dropout Mitt Romney agreed Thursday to endorse Sen. John McCain and asked his national convention delegates to swing behind the party front-runner, according to officials familiar with the decision. Romney collected 280 delegates during his run through the early primaries and caucuses. If enough of them switch, McCain could quickly reach the total of 1,191 needed to clinch the nomination. The officials who disclosed Romney's plans did so on condition of anonymity. A formal announcement was expected later in the day. The former Massachusetts governor dropped out of the race last week after it became apparent that toppling McCain would be near impossible given his lead in the hunt for convention delegates. Romney made his decision on Thursday, one official said. The endorsement came together quickly. Romney's campaign notified McCain's camp after Romney made the decision, and McCain's campaign adjusted its campaign schedule to fly to Boston to accept the endorsement because the senator was campaigning in nearby Rhode Island.

Meaning, if there were a brokered convention and Ron Paul was there, they could vote for Ron Paul??????? (please say it is sooooooooooooooooooo) He who controls the past controls the future, and he who controls the present controls the past. -1984 |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 355408 United States 02/14/2008 04:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Any possibility we'll see McCain/Romney versus Obama/Clinton in the election roster? Quoting: dinosaurexI dunno. Greater possibility of: McCain "Terror" / Giuliana "Terror, Terror" "Be afraid! Terror, terror, terror..." As far as Obama/Clinton... They don't need it. The dems could put up Bozo the Clown right now and he'd win. There are simply more dems voting. Both Obama and Clinton each grab more votes than all the repubs votes combined. The republican party is done and they know that. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 356326Not me. Paul won't endorse McCain. He's for LIBERTY, not slavery; McCain stands for everything that's wrong with this nation right now. But I honestly don't expect McCain to get to the convention intact. I have a feeling that the Obamton team will lay one on him...it will be smelly.
